“Last night, after a great dinner with my wife and our dear friend, the paparazzi harassed us when we were returning to the hotel,” he said. tweeted while. “I obviously overdid it. I’ve been in this game long enough to know that their antics are unfortunately part of the deal. Silly of me. Made.”

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said that instead of filing charges, Lachey will take part in a program that requires him to attend anger management classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

“Mr. Lasha has not been charged with assault and battery. Instead, he is participating in the LADA Prefiling Diversion program, which was established in 2017,” the District Attorney’s office said in a statement. “Successful completion of the pre-filing program will result in that no criminal charges will be filed.”
